Simona has been spotted pitchside on presenting duties in a range of bold outfits at the Euros so far.
Her 206,000 Instagram followers have been in for a treat as she wowed in a stylish white dress before Slovakia's 1-0 defeat to Italy on Saturday.
Simona, who has been called the "Queen of Europe" by fans, takes fans behind-the-scenes with several glam selfies of her from in and around the tunnel.
Her partner, who is Napoli star Stanislav Lobotka, even joined her for a recent game.
She posted a cute snap of the midfielder kissing her on the cheek alongside the caption: "We support each other in our work. I'm glad you're here."
Lobotka played 32 times last season as he helped Napoli to the Serie A title.
Before moving into the world of football reporting, Simona was a model.
She was a finalist in the Miss Slovakia contest ten years ago.
On her unique career path, Simona said in an interview last year: "I have been working for the Slovak Football Federation for three years, I started with the Under-21 team.
"They were a good side, I got used to them, and last September I moved on to working with the first-team.
"Some people told me that a woman from a modelling background would not make it in football.
"But several years have since passed, those people who laughed at me now want to take pictures with me.
"You may just see a pretty face, but I've been through a lot of hard times to get where I am now.
"There are still a lot of goals I want to achieve.
"I learned a lot about football, despite the fact that people thought I wasn't good enough.
"When you work hard and follow your dreams, anything is possible."

Celeste Barber breaks silence on shock 'Photoshop' scandal after appearing on glossy magazine cover: 'It's gonna piss some of you off'
Celeste Barber has responded to critics after she was widely slammed for her appearance on the cover of the upcoming September issue of Marie Claire. The comedian, 43, who is best known for poking fun at over-produced photos and videos often posted by beautiful models, has been accused of becoming 'what she mocked' by posing for the 'heavily photoshopped' cover shoot on her feed. However on Thursday, Celeste defiantly returned to Instagram to push back at her naysayers - insisting that her image wasn't photoshopped. 'Hi, I need to tell you all something about this photo shoot, and it's going to piss some of you off. It's not photoshopped! I just look that f**king good! I know!' Celeste said. 'You guys are so used to me showing you what I look like as a slapped arse. This is me as well! Guys, I just look this good,' she continued. Celeste went on to praise the creative team for transforming her into a covergirl. 'It's hard - I just look this good when there's 15 kilos of hair put on my head and then Koh [hairstylist] has to snatch my face up to give me a bit of a Kris Jenner lift to hold the wig in place,' she said. She went on to praise her makeup artist who painted her face 'like an absolute wizard,' adding: 'I have a feeling, I think they actually shipped lighting in for this, because sister needs a bit of help.' Celeste then credited her photographer for his 'amazing angles with the camera', before reiterating: 'This is just how I look. I'm so sorry, but I look f**king great.' The cover, which she shared to Instagram on Wednesday, saw Celeste attempting to stay true to her roots as she parodied singer Jennifer Lopez 's infamous 2000 Grammys green dress. However, some followers were left outraged to see how much Photoshop was used to give Celeste a flawless, almost unrecognisable visage in the image. 'How can you allow so much Photoshop when all you sell is authenticity?' one person wrote to the comedian. 'So photoshopped. What's a shame,' another added, as a third penned: 'Ah the irony.' 'Did they not know you were beautiful before? Isn't the whole point of the entire bit that you laugh in the face of the celebrity airbrush culture?' said someone else. 'And she became what she mocked,' one user commented. Others decided to turn the blame on Marie Claire. 'The amount of editing your photography team has done to Celeste goes against everything she stands for,' one outraged follower said. 'Heavily photoshopped Celeste Barber is sacrilege,' another agreed. Someone else stood up for Celeste, saying the media personality had every right to pose for a glamour shoot because she was 'making an impact' on the world. 'To connect with the regular normal day to day person is her shtick,' they added. 'If you don't understand that and solely judge from this picture then you don't know anything about her nor Marie Claire nor what it is to be a woman standing for other women!' Celeste is known for mocking models and celebrities for their over-the-top glamour shots and saucy videos flaunting their trim figures. Celeste was accused of becoming 'what she mocked' after she posed for the glamour shoot and shared it to Instagram In April, she left locals appalled with her latest stunt in Paris when she strolled the streets of the French capital in nothing but her undies. In footage shared to Instagram, she pranced around in her skimpy smalls sipping a coffee, mocking similar footage filmed by a young model in Italy. However, onlookers appeared less thrilled at her brazen display, with some pointing in disgust at her wild sideshow. The social media star captioned the footage with some amusing words. 'It's important to blend in when travelling,' she wrote.

Still Game legend stars in cheeky throwback Irn-Bru advert that brings back iconic catchphrase
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GRANNY reckons folk will be fizzing at her new Irn-Bru advert - as she 'isn't wearing any pants.' Linda Raskin, 83, was cast in the hilarious production alongside a young lad who delivers a rousing speech on behalf of the drink and actor Sanjeev Kohli - who harps back to his days as Still Game's Navid by playing a shopkeeper. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Linda had a great time filming the advert. 3 It was the first role for young lad Davis. 3 Sanjeev is a big Irn-Bru fan. The characters give hilarious examples of what it means to have girders - leading to the pensioner's cheeky one-liner. The pensioner, from Newton Mearns, had great fun riding a mobility scooter and can't wait for her five grandchildren to see her starring in the special ad. She said: 'I told them they better watch it and glue themselves to the screen - granny is on. They all think it's good fun. 'I probably will get recognised afterwards. One of my lines is 'I'm not wearing any pants' so imagine what my friends will shout at me when I go shopping. 'It won't be, 'Donald where's your trousers?', it'll be 'Linda, where's your pants?'' Teenager Davis Harvey, 13, from Dennistoun, impressed Linda in his first role after being street-cast for the ad. The advert brings back the iconic 'made in Scotland from girders' line from 40 years ago that was used to explain the drink's magical qualities. And that's ideal for Linda - as her father was a magician and she worked as his assistant when she was a youngster. She said: 'The mobility scooter lethal was lethal, it was so fast. I felt 15 again. 'I had to throw a can of Irn-Bru over my shoulder into bin and my aim was stunning. Irn Bru announces major shake-up to iconic brand - and some fans won't be happy 'We did it countless times – and I managed to make the shot every time. I've no idea how. Maybe it was the girders in the Irn-Bru making the magic happen.' Linda, who worked at a dentist before attending drama school, joked: 'I remember 'Made in Scotland from Girders' from the first time round and how much it was loved by us all. 'Being part of bringing back is fantastic and a real honour. My whole family love Irn-Bru. 'But I never expected at my age for people to start asking whether I'm wearing any pants, which I'm sure will happen the next time I'm out and about.' The newsagents featured was a shop in Albert Drive, Pollokshields, as The Lucky General creative agency kept things local for their first Irn-Bru production. Sanjeev, 53, quipped: 'Irn-Bru ads have always been witty, had a bit of an edge and they've never been short of something daft to say. "So, I obviously wasn't going to knock it back when they came calling. Especially when I realised 'Made in Scotland from Girders' was returning. 'When I read the script, it felt like a real throwback to the 80s and 90s – and I mean that in a good way. "It was simple but a bit silly and didn't take itself too seriously. When we got together to film, everyone just picked up that energy up and ran with it. We had a right laugh, even when the cameras weren't rolling. 'From a pantless granny to a ginger flying too close to the sun, the ad is funny, but it's also true. Scots are most definitely made from girders.'
